Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamiest texture)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the strawberries. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into smaller pieces. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
  2. Blend the base. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Freeze to perfection. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals, then seal with a lid.
  4. Freeze for 4-6 hours until firm but scoopable. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect creamy texture.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamiest texture. Don't skip the lemon juice - it brightens the strawberry flavor. For extra flavor, try adding fresh basil or mint leaves. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for perfect texture.
